How does mediation work in Tipton County?
Tipton County is in Tennessee's 25th Judicial District, which it shares with Lauderdale, McNairy, Fayette and Hardeman counties, and two Circuit Judges serve the district [1]. Circuit Courts are Tennessee's courts of general jurisdiction: they hear civil and criminal cases and appeals from city, juvenile, municipal and General Sessions courts, and their jurisdiction often overlaps with the Chancery Courts [1]. Most mediators listed below come from the Tennessee AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4]; two also appear in the Western District of Tennessee federal court's Mediator Profile Directory [2], and one is on the Middle District's ADR panel [3].

No mediator from another state has told us they work online with Tennessee clients in this practice area yet. Local mediators may also offer video sessions; ask when you contact them.
Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Tennessee.
Court-connected mediation in Tennessee: When a Tennessee court orders Rule 31 mediation and the parties don't pick a listed Rule 31 mediator together, the judge names three from the AOC's statewide list and each side strikes one name.
Private mediation in Tennessee: Rule 31 says its standards cover only mediations and mediators under that rule, not private mediation outside it. The ADR Commission may waive training for a mediator approved and in good standing in another state.
